TORSION OF BARS APPARATUS

This apparatus allows direct investigation of the relationship between torsional load and angular twist in round bars, and how this varies with material and cross-sectional polar moment of area. Specimens are rigidly clamped at one end of the bench-top base frame. A bearing at the other end contains a short shaft with an integral pulley and chuck. Learn about TORSION OF BARS APPARATUS suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. The pulley has cord wrapped around its periphery, allowing torque to be applied using the load hanger and calibrated weights. A rotation scale and pointer can be attached at any point on the specimen to measure angle of twist. Learn about TORSION OF BARS APPARATUS for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. A full specimen set is supplied in a variety of materials.
